1824
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Vue general de l'Église St. Gervais et St. Protais à Gisors is a 1824 ink by Richard Parkes Bonington, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a busy street in front of a big, old church. The church has tall towers, pointed windows, and detailed carvings on its walls. People walk around, some in groups, others alone. A horse-drawn carriage is parked near the right side, and a few people are sitting or standing by the buildings. The artist focused on everyday life mixed with grand architecture. The street looks lively, with people going about their day while the church stands tall in the background. If you like this style, check out the technique: lithography to see how it was made.
Richard Parkes Bonington (25 October 1802 – 23 September 1828) was an English Romantic landscape painter.
